    Thanks for your quick reply. I will add some contrast and try to lighten. It wasn't backlit, although sun was quite high.

    Cheers

    Would someone be kind enough to offer me some advice on the following image:

    JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!


    Dark / Underexposed
    Too much or too little contrast
    Dirty Scan / CMOS Dust spots

    The histogram looks OK to me. Please advise what I should look to change?

    The dust spots did not show up in Lightroom, as far as I recall and are very faint in the check that you have recently added (which is very helpful). I thought that there was some tolerance in place

    Thanks for any advice.

    Cheers

    Just a bit dark, but needs more contrast (almost looks backlit). If dust spots are visible unequalized, it will be a rejection no matter how faint they are.

    Thank you very much, i´ve tried another picture with a darker background.

    Have a nice day!
    Best regards,

    Hi,

    Need some help with these:

    1. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=5889565. I leveled the shot using verticals around the Hyatt signage on the roof. That's what I typically use for these angle compositions

    2. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=5893873. I wanted a nose close up composition. Should I crop more on the left to just the fuselage. My thinking was that it would cut the radar dish and unbalance the picture

    3. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=5893864. Are the chocks clutter? Honestly I could not help those from any angle. Composition is for tight nose close up similar to this another pic of mine https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8591135.

    4. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=5898361. Based on the discussion in the forum earlier, I was asked to use to vertical lines in the center (light poles in this case) to level the shot. Previously hangar line was used.

    Thanks and regards,
    Siddarth
    1. Verticals are leaning right, needs CCW rotation.
    2. Simply an awkward crop/composition.
    3. Chocks are fine, so shouldn't have been a obstr./clutter rejection, but again awkward crop, especially with the door cut.
    4. This is a very tricky one with conflicting verticals all over the place. Yes, verticals in the center are generally favored, but strong verticals (like buildings) are favored over less reliable ones like light posts. Overall, the ramp in the background does appear to slope right, so some CCW rotation is needed.

    All right ~

    I'd advise against anything that might result in a rejection (or worse) for manipulation.

    I am a beginner and not sure about this, but i thought backlit is if the sun is behind the aircraft. In this case the sun was somewhere between pilots 1 and 2 o`clock.
    Can someone tell me, what backlit in this particular case means?
    Look at the tail. It is completely in shadow = backlit.

    Hi, it's better than the original but I think it could do with a little more boost with the contrast.
